Year 784 - An unexpected friendship

POV Lilly

It is now a week that I have been on earth. I can already distinguish light and dark a little better. My vision is slowly coming back. Yesterday I went shopping for clothes with Bulma and their little daughter. Not that I could see anything but the other two were very excited. In the morning I often train by myself, in the afternoon together with Trunks and Goten. Sometimes Vegeta was there to give tips. That's how I learned to improve my stance. I can already recognize power levels better and at no time did that damn wild energy came back. I do still have that electricity feeling in my body, but now I decide when it comes out.

I had Trunks' headphones on. I was sitting on the grass playing with my electrical energy. I was trying to get it as a circle around me, like I can do out with the energy of my self-defense. I sat in a cross-legged position I felt calm. I felt someone walk by, followed by a stinging sweet smell. "Good morning" I said with no emotion, she never says anything to me and she irritated me somehow. "How could you possibly know that I am walking here? You're blind and have headphones on". I couldn't suppress my smile "Trunks will explain it to you". At that moment Trunks came walking out and sounded surprised "Lou-Lou, are you here again? You don't have to do this every day! You live on the other side of town". A high-pitched cheerful voice said "Oh that doesn't matter Trunksie, I enjoy doing it". I thought I was getting sick, I don't know much about love and stuff. But it's obvious that she likes him or something. "Bye Trunks, bye Frou-Frou" I called out. "It's Lou-lou" I heard her bark. "I know" I rolled backwards, got up and walked away.

I walked around the building, there was a pond there. I jumped in but landed on a stone, Vegeta had shown me this and I had remembered the steps. I stood on one leg the other rested with my foot against my upper leg. I had my hands joined at the height of my chest. Even though I was blind I had my eyes closed, my breath was calm, my head was empty. Only the rhythmic sounds through the headphones. My energy slowly went up around me like a snake. I threw a hand forward and my energy flew out. My hand balled like a fist and I slammed my arm and body to the other side. My energy followed my fist I heard my energy fly away and it was knocked away. "That's interesting" a cheerful voice came from the spot. "Who said that?" I asked startled. "Oh I'll introduce myself; my name is Whis I'm here to pick up Vegeta and Goku for training". I jumped back onto land and followed the voice. Time to introduce myself "Hi, I'm Lilly"

"Oh there you are Whis" it was Vegeta. "Oh hello Vegeta, I was just curious about your student, she has an interesting way of using energy". Uh he said student? Vegeta was helping me, he was indeed training me. Should I start calling him master then? "Uh yes she has, but shall we go?" stammered Vegeta. He sounded a little overwhelmed. "We'll wait for Goku for a while. And do you have the food?" I heard a bag make a sound and indeed a nice smell came out of it. And out of nowhere I felt Goku`s power next to me. He was the only one who could scare me like that. And he came so close next to me that I fell to the ground in shock. "Time to go" said the cheerful voice of Whis and I felt all kinds of things around me. I grabbed something and it felt like my body was being pulled through the air with many g-forces. My mind went blank.

When I regained consciousness, everything stood still again. We were in another world, I felt that immediately. "Luckily we were just able to catch you when you slipped away" I did hear what Whis said, it didn't really come through. "Where am I?" I asked in surprise. I did look around but everything was so dark. "You are in Beerus castle" said Vegeta. "This isn't earth is it?" I guess it was a funny question, everyone laughed. "Anyway, time is time and we have to train. Girl you just go twenty meters or so to the right. Then you won't be in the way" Whis instructed. "Oh and while you're there train your focus" Vegeta commanded after it. I heard Goku ask if Vegeta couldn't say that a little nicer. As two of the same violent race they are very different.

I walked twenty meters to the right. I went back to standing in the same position I was in that time in the pond. Hey where are my headphones? I lost my headphones. How was I going to explain this to Trunks! "Focus" I heard from a distance, it was my master. An annoyed growl escaped my mouth. I got back into position, took a deep breath. Everything from my surroundings came in slowly, animal sounds, a gentle breeze and cold air. For thirty minutes I was able to stand perfectly still. Then I felt something behind me.

"Who or what are you" an irritated voice came from behind me. Slowly I turned around, "Hi, I'm Lilly." The person moved closer to me, I felt a hand press on my head. "And how did you get here?" I put my hands forward, I felt fabric a band, I went up and felt a band around his neck."Are you trapped here?" In fright I pulled my hands back. "No, why?" the person asked in surprise. I put my own hand on my throat. "I had one on too, my father always knew exactly where I was because of that" I replied. Probably I looked very pathetic, the man gave a stroke over my head "but still I wonder how you got here" he asked impatiently. "Oh sorry, I accidentally hitchhiked with Whis, Goku and my master Vegeta". "Uh one more question, are you blind little girl?" My head nodded yes "But my sight is slowly coming back, I can already see light and dark" I laughed. I felt something shoot past me. "What was that?" I asked startled. "That's a Saida, little irritating beast likes to shoot past you" said the voice irritated. "Oh then it's hungry, at least my Vixy does that then"

Ten minutes later and the Saida was quietly eating from the hand of the irritated person. It began to squeak and then fell asleep. "What color is it?" I asked. "Bright blue" was the answer. "Vixy is light blue. You can tell by the color whether it is a male or a female. A bright blue color means male". I felt a crazy sound from the left. I stood up and slowly moved in that direction. "That's an inverted waterfall" the person explained. "Can I touch it?" I felt a large slender hand grab my wrist and guide me to the water. It felt so strange. "My name is Beerus by the way, you are in my castle and on my planet. I am the god of destruction" the person next to me said softly. I turned to him "Nice to meet you, so I'm Lilly a failed lab experiment and now an apprentice of Vegeta". Beerus started laughing, "Follow me, I want to show you some uh feel some".

I think he showed me everything on his planet. It was so strange there. Big aquarium full of fish. I was allowed to put my feet in, there were fish that were scraping dead cells off my feet. There were many more animals, When we went to get some food he had wonderful food. I had never eaten so deliciously. I had always been trained in etiquette and Beerus was impressed by it. Or at least, that's what it sounded like. He told embarrassing stories about Vegeta, about how as Beerus the god of destruction he brings balance to the universe. I told him about the lab I lived in, how my father blinded me and I fled. He asked if he should destroy the planet? I thanked him, but I didn't want that order on my conscience. After the delicious meal, we lay down somewhere, my eyes getting heavy. I fell asleep.

POV Vegeta

I saw from the corner of my eye that Lilly had been gone for a while. I had no idea where she had gone; I had told her to stay there. I'm not a babysitter for that girl after all. "Ok guys, nice practice." "Hey where is your student Vegeta?" asked Kakarot innocently, hadn't he seen that she had been gone for a while? Whis concentrated for a moment and looked a little surprised "Oh that's extraordinary". We followed Whis to the sleeping quarters of Beerus. And there they were just sleeping. Both very relaxed, as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "Oh my, I think Beerus has made a friend. He doesn't let anyone into his sleeping area, let alone sleep there". Like a proud father, Whis looked down on Beerus. "But you guys have to go, Vegeta grab your apprentice. If you're not back in time Bulma will get mad at me. And then no more goodies". I lifted the girl off the mattress, she curled up against me. "Come men"

When we got back to earth Trunks was standing in the garden with headphones in his hand "Lilly" he said startled. "Mom, Dad is back with Lilly!" He shouted and Bulma came walking in fast. "Oh thank goodness she's back" she said relieved. I felt someone wake up in my arms. I set her down on the ground and she looked around drowsy. "Nice nap?" She looked at me, she looked. Two big surprised gold colored eyes looked at me. A scream followed and she took a step back, she placed her hand over her mouth in surprise. "Your eyes" I said astonished. "I see" she said completely shocked. She looked around, Whis gave her a wink. "Bye everyone" and gone was Whis.

That night I slept uneasily. A voice called to me, a voice from my past. Golden eyes looked at me sternly. I wanted to walk towards them but my feet were stuck in the ground. I saw a shape in front of me, a lady. She called my name; I did not see her face but only her eyes. The eyes of so many years ago. I called out her name but she ran away "Vino" I called out. Further and further away "Vino!" In a scare I woke up. Sweaty from my nightmare. Bulma was sitting right up next to me looking worried. "Honey?" I stepped out of our bed and walked over to the window. "Hon who is Vino?", startled I looked at Bulma. After the terrible event, I never mentioned her name again. I sighed deeply "Someone from my Frieza past. Someone I had failed." I walked back to the bed "It's nothing babe, just go to sleep" and I crawled back next to my wife.
